Hi Guys, i recently got given these TL Autocannons my friend made out of plasticard to go on my GK dreadnoughts to save money from paying £7 per autocannon from FW. The problem is, I am not sure what to do on the right hand, while i can simply glue the weapon onto the left hand i am not sure how the right hand will work as the positioning of the fist will make it difficult, are there any ways around this?

Cheers,

Pic Enclosed, not the best quality but hopefully you can see what it's like

You could scapel off the arm to leave the bottom corners of the shoulder box showing, and then use greenstuff to remove irrelevant details. You could use the angled plate on the side of the shoulder as an ejection port.

Good god, that's so suitable for dreadnought mounting it's ridiculous. It even matches the shoulder-box shape.

Quit suitable actually. I own two sets.

Problem is, i've got these autocannons now and it would be best to use them, how much did the option above cost?

Cut the Fist off, shave off any unwanted details and use any extra plasticard to extend it. Or make it look like it has been shot and have a bit of recoil.

Shocker, it seems too expensive for just 2 weapons on a model which GW should supply as they charge a ridiculous amount as it is!
